Artist's Comments

Forty-seven strings are pulled,
By this angelic "beating" girl.
And it breaks our hearts to hear,
The music that comes out of her.
Shoulders hang on folded chairs,
This will be our church tonight.
We have dug out foxholes here,
Not an atheist in sight.
Laughing, shaking, taking oaths,
Breaking sacramental cups.
We pour the magic in our coats,
Thinking it can leave with us.

But it's the wrong way out,
Twenty steps, but it's so harming.
When they talk out loud,
Bend to brace your fingers on me.

I've been breathing evil air,
Sharing needles with the sky.
Looking up, remembering,
Regina said they're just old light.
But you somehow understood,
My over saturated skin.
You held your hand up to my neck,
And played me like a theremin.
I see London, I see France,
And all the things that we won't do.
And if I never leave this chair,
Maybe I can go with you.

But it's a long way out,
Twenty steps, but it's so harming.
When they talk out loud,
Bend to brace your fingers on me.
It's a long way out,
Past the bar and past the awning.
Past the easy crowd,
Back into the end.

We have found our solace here,
In this unexpected place.
Like a startled, dying man,
Kneels in prayer just in case.
And while the night sky sadly lit,
All that you were sleeping through.
Death took my friend Benjamin,
But he left his keys with you.
So, I'll kiss the air instead,
As not to disturb your sleep.
And if you never wake my love,
Maybe you can come with me.

But it's a long way out,
Twenty steps but its so harming.
When they talk out loud,
Bend to brace your fingers on me.
It's a long way out,
Past the bar and past the awning.
Past the easy crowd,
Back into the end of harmony.
Back into the end.

Concert Grand Harps have 47 strings.
...pulled by this angelic "beating" girl... and it breaks our hearts to hear the music that comes out of her... This will be our church tonight... We have found our solace here,
In this unexpected place.
Like a startled, dying man, kneels in prayer JUST IN CASE... it's a long way out, past the easy crowd, back into the end... of harmony.
